and it's not just a journey, it's an adventure... sometimes a very long
adventure.... but the thrill when you find one is awesome..

With that said and lots of experience in saddle hunting,  this is what I
would recommend.  If possible find a good saddle fitter (that can be a
challenge in itself), one that doesn't just put in on their brand of saddle
but either has others or is willing to look at other brands.  They watch
you ride in it, which means they need to know balance..  Although I have
not used one I would if it meant figuring out a saddle sooner and that is
Port Lewis pad.  They may also be able to recommend a saddle fitter in your
area.    Years ago when I bought an SR saddle he had me send a plaster
mold, which I think is a very good idea rather than doing a tracing which
can be tricky to do accurately.  With the help of my saddle fitter, I
finally found a saddle which happened to be an Arabian Saddle Company
saddle  and she was able to take a little stuffing out here, put a little
more there, and presto, a very long and frustrating adventure came to an
end.  If you are buying a western type saddle it may be a little easier.

The other day someone was telling me that they were thinking of buying a
horse but weren't sure.  They went through all the pros and cons but then
they said their saddle fit the horse, I told her WRITE THE CHECK
LOLOLOLOLOLOL.





My goal in life is to be as good of a person my dog already thinks I am.
